It was the first color film to win the Best Picture Oscar.

When Gary Cooper turned down the role of Rhett Butler, he was passionately against it. He is quoted saying both, “Gone with the Wind is going to be the biggest flop in Hollywood history,” and, “I’m just glad it’ll be Clark Gable who’s falling on his face and not Gary Cooper.”

The horse that Thomas Mitchell (Gerald O’Hara) rode was later Silver of The Lone Ranger fame.
